MEET THE TEAM
"Let's groom together!"
SZILVIA
founder & CEO
Dear Pawtique friends,
I am a dog groomer, an award-wining dog SPA owner and the face behind the Pawtique trademarked brand. I am very lucky to have such an amazing team that work alongside me!
I am passionate about the care and love of all animals, in particular dogs. I am active in the local pet community and support local dog rescues.
My other related passion is dog skin- and haircare. This began with none of the dog grooming products used in my salon were providing the promised, desired results so I started paying extra attention to their ingredients and their effect on the dogs' skin and hair. This passion leaded to extend my education with a diploma in organic skin - and haircare formulation then created my own dog grooming product range which will be launched in 2023. I am proud member of the Society of British Cosmetic Scientists and take continuing my education seriously. My educational journey hasn't finished yet as I am currently working toward becoming a pet aesthetician with NAPCG ( National Association of Professional Creative Groomers)

Hi all,
​
I would like to share a couple of important things about me:
​
Dogs always played a major part of my life. Currently I have 5 dogs in my life called Hugo, Nero, Dash, Puka and Rossie.
I like walking miles from my home to turn my daily dog walk into a dogventure.
​
I completed my level 2 City & Guilds certificate in dog grooming then I started my dog grooming carrier with Pawtique where I was trained and gained my experience. I love seeing the transformation of dogs in the salon, it is so rewarding.
​
I truly love what I do and treat each and every dog as if they were my own. Whilst your dog in my care, I guarantee that he will be safe, well looked after and will receive lots of attention and cuddles.
​
You will also find me in the grooming salon helping out our groomers and customers to ensure the day runs smoothly.

Hello,
​
I'm Justyna. I've always had a great love for animals which resulted in me wanting to work with them. I have a springer spaniel called Muna.
​
I've looked to work in a dog grooming salon for some time now but have struggled to find anyone able to take me on. I've now been lucky enough to be given the opportunity to do the job I love.
​
It’s an absolute dream to work with dogs all day everyday. I work at Pawtique as a grooming assistant but have now taken the next step into dog grooming.
​
I hope to gain as much experience as possible so that in the future I have the knowledge and ability to become an excellent dog groomer!

Hi!
I’m Courtney. I’m a massive animal lover and have grown up with dogs my whole life. I have two Rottweilers called Chester and Remi and a chihuahua called Mitch (funny mix I know). I have completed my Level 3 animal management technical diploma course, resulting in 3 qualifications. I am employed by Pawtique since May 2023 as Szilvia has given me an amazing opportunity to learn how to groom too. I adore my job and working at Pawtique has allowed me to take my first step into the animal industry which I’ve always wanted ever since I was a little girl. Now I get to work with dogs all day and the little girl in me is screaming!
I don’t see going to the salon every day as ‘work’ I see it as building relationships with your fur babies, experiencing each one of their personalities, making them feel loved and cared for and putting a smile on their owners faces. The only thing you have to worry about when your dog is in my hands is receiving too many cuddles. It’s great to have such a fun job and be apart of a great team.
